Tomato is an extremely perishable fruit that can easily spoil due to inadequate handling or storage conditions in the post-harvest period, including contamination by microorganisms. In this context, the aim of this work was to develop biopolymeric films/coatings with improved barrier properties through the incorporation of CNF, in addition to the incorporation of Pickering emulsions (PE) containing oregano oil as an antimicrobial agent to increase the shelf life of tomatoes. <em>In vitro</em> cell viability assays showed that CNF concentrations (up to 7.5 % w/w) added to the films were not cytotoxic to cells. Pectin (P) films with CNF and/or PE were produced and characterized to understand the role of CNF and PE on water vapor permeability and mechanical properties. Hydrophobicity, assessed by water contact angle, increased with addition of PE (64.40°) and CNF (73.40°) compared to P-based (60.43°) films, although tensile strength decreased (1.05 MPa for CNF- and 1.71 for PE-films, compared to 2.22 MPa for P-films). Interestingly, incorporation of CNF and PE did not affect the transparency of the films, although films containing only PE or containing PE and CNF showed the ability to completely block UV light. Based on these results, the same formulations were used to produce film-forming solutions (FFS) that were used as coatings on the tomato surface. Coated and uncoated tomatoes were stored at 4 °C for 12 days and their physicochemical and microbiological characteristics were assessed during storage. Application of the coating was effective in controlling microbial growth, demonstrating that P films incorporating CNF and PE are an attractive solution to extend the shelf-life of perishable tomato fruits, especially in relation to molds and yeasts, where the PE coating did not show growth over the 12 days of storage. Regarding the total viable count, all coatings showed an increase throughout storage, however the lowest count was for the P/PE/CNF coating, demonstrating its potential as a solution for packaging vegetables aiming at longer shelf life.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":12134,"journal":{"name":"Food and Bioproducts Processing","volume":"155 ","pages":"Pages 74-83"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145734919","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The plant currently uses sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solutions (15–20 wt%) due to safety and corrosion concerns associated with strong acids. Swelling/dissolution studies of the foulants in NaOH were conducted by monitoring foulant mass change over time. Changes in foulant composition and morphology were then analysed using XRF, FT-IR, and SEM-EDS. Optimal NaOH concentrations were found to be 10 wt% at room temperature and 8 wt% at 80°C—both lower than the concentrations currently used in the investigated plant. Although higher temperature did not increase the overall extent of removal, it substantially reduced deposit mechanical strength. Cross-sectional SEM-EDS showed deeper NaOH penetration and removal of subsurface calcium sulphate (CaSO₄), explaining the weakened structure. Increasing mass transfer at room temperature by agitating the NaOH solution similarly enhanced the penetration and reduced deposit strength. While NaOH alone did not achieve complete removal, it effectively weakened the foulants, which may shorten subsequent mechanical cleaning time. Swelling and dissolution studies using citric acid (optimal concentration 3 wt%) were also performed to evaluate the potential of a weak acid cleaner. Citric was selected because its chelating ability. Although calcium, the major component of molasses foulants was removed by citric acid, lower cleaning efficiency (lower dissolution rate and extent of removal) than NaOH was observed. Overall, this study provides a mechanistic understanding of alkali cleaning of molasses foulants and demonstrates improved cleaning efficiency—greater removal, shorter times, and weaker residual deposits—using 10 wt% NaOH under flow conditions. The findings offer guidance for optimising alkali-based cleaning strategies for molasses foulants and other complex organic–mineral deposits.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":12134,"journal":{"name":"Food and Bioproducts Processing","volume":"155 ","pages":"Pages 107-123"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145734921","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
